1944 Martin Guitar, model: 000-28 with Original Case FOR SALE!!!!
The Flood Family is selling, for Grandpa, his 1944 000-28 Martin guitar with its original case!!
It has Brazilian rosewood, original square frets and made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Serial number is 88229 if you want to look it up.
It has been professionally repaired in the front but plays and sounds great.
This is a video of son Joseph playing it today. We could have had Grandpa play it, but then that wouldn't be fair 'cause Grandpa could make a cardboard box sound like a Stradivarius.
The first part of the video is of Joseph recorded with the digital camera and the second part consists of pictures of the guitar set to a digital recording of Joseph playing - it's better quality.

Jeff Hickey's Memorial Service
Jeff passed away after two weeks in intensive care unit at U.W. Madison after an automobile accident.
David started guitar lessons with Jeff shortly before he turned 13 back in 2002. He and David clicked musically: Jeff taught in a way that David was ready to soak up.
Jeff's CD, Loose Ends, won the MAMA (Madison Area Music Award) for best Acoustic album in 2004 and because Jeff had taught several of those songs to David, David was privileged to play those at the benefit today ( and then some of his own original compositions) and give Jeff much credit for teaching him and encouraging him to find his own voice with the guitar and music in general.
Joseph started lessons with Jeff last fall -and he too really clicked with Jeff. I'd take him into Jeff's and he would call for "Guiseppe" as he called Joseph and off they would go for at least an hour even though he only charged me for 1/2 hour lessons. Joseph today played the piece that he had been working on with Jeff at the time of his accident-Windy and Warm, and an earlier piece they worked on Wildwood flowers and I'll Fly Away.
Here's a little snippet of David playing at his guitar teacher's memorial service. We'll put up a better sound snippet later of him AND Joseph playing on stage.

Welcome to Moody
Dave and me
David in his dorm
You Can Take Them Out of The Teen Center But You Can't Take The Teen Center Out of Them!
This was really nice to watch-and then I went and did something else for quite awhile so David could just have some time with his Dad.
The first place I played pool with Dave was at Moody so it's kinda fun to see him playing pool there again.
The view is great!
Oh-and see those wooden cabinet things to the left? Those are two huge armoirs, one for each dorm mate, very nice storage for them. David packed very light for school not knowing what was going to be the situation so now he can take down a few more things.
But I loved that he could see a Chicago landmark from his room.
Dedication Service for Students and Parents
The new president of Moody, Paul Nyquist, had three charges for the new students:
- Studying at Moody is a privilege
- Studying at Moody is an opportunity
- Studying at Moody is a calling
That's what he's saying in the video, summing it up at the end-the sound quality isn't that great on my cell phone.
A mere 22 1/12 years later....
David is standing in the same area that my Mom and Dad took a picture of Dave and I when we started at Moody back on a cold, wintery day in January 1987 .
Life is wierd
but good
very good.

Clayton and his friends win
TJ Mc , Clayton and Eric Mc
So Clayton won the July 8-ball tournament at the teen center. A person may think that
because Clayton's Dad is the director of the Teen Center there's something sketchy going on
but TJ and Eric were there making him work hard for it!! Eric, the younger Mc, came in second
place and his big brother, TJ, came in third.
Anyone who wins has to work hard for it.
Did you know they play by BCA (Billiards Congress of America)?-no slop and they have to call their shots; each table has a judge and it's a double elimination so lots of times the person playing for first has to beat their opponent not just once, but twice!
I think it's pretty to be in the top three with your buddies-Congratulations guys!!

Right before and Right after!
Clayton in the office right before and
Clayton in the office right after!
So today was the day!!!
Clayton, just shy of 18 months, got his braces off today. We thought it might take 2 to 2 1/2 years but it was far less.
I'll try to find a pic from right before he got them on in February of 2008.
Good times!
Congratulatins Clayton!!!
